I am trying to compile some c++ code into a MEX in MATLAB 2011a under Windows 8 64 bit. I get the following error:

Error: Could not find the compiler “cl” on the DOS path.
Use mex -setup to configure your environment properly.

C:\PROGRA~1\MATLAB\R2010A\BIN\MEX.PL: Error: Unable to locate compiler.

I search solution and read many way and than i found it. This solution done very nice to solve this. I found this from https://bhaskarstechmusings.blogspot.co.id/2012/09/mex-and-matlab-2010.html and i said thanks alot. this problem make me very frustation. This solution is simple enough, that is:

Update your windows SDK to SDK 7.1 or latest!!!
